Hi, I'm new here. I've been trying to do Nos for about a week and so far I'm failing more than succeeding, but I think trying to do it and failing is better than eating my head off, which is basically what I've been doing for the last 18 months or so, while pretending to myself that I'm an intuitive eater.
I get a lot of migraine (more than one a week) and when I do I need to eat every few hours or I feel much worse. I've also realised that a lot of my eating is driven by stomach discomfort rather than actual hunger, and probably related to stomach acidity. So some days I have had one snack but I am keeping them small and not sweet. I'm trying to deal with the acidity problem but I think the migraine is a lost cause after 50 years or so. It hasn't always been as bad as it is now and maybe improvement in my general health and fitness will help.
On the plus side, I've kept off sweets except on designated S days and am feeling much the better for it. And I've never much been one for seconds so that isn't a problem.
Eating only three times a day is a huge shock to my system and I expect it will take a while to settle down. Meantime I'm just going to keep trying...
